So, like, Connor, if you can talk a little bit, like, what was your path in, in soccer, and when did you recognize that soccer could at least be a college thing and then a pro thing?

Yeah, um, I mean, kind of from a, from a very early age, I was always kinda told myself, I was like, "I'm gonna go play pro." But I, I don't really, didn't really have a way how I was gonna play pro, but it was just something I would, I would say.

Or, "What do you wanna be when you grow up?" "Oh, I'll be a professional soccer player." I didn't know how I was gonna get there, and then, you know, after high school, it became a reality check that I was like, "Oh, crap, like, how am I gonna get there?" Um, so, uh, you know, like, going through high school, I was trying to play college soccer.

Like, I was, uh, one of the, the better players around, um, so I knew I could play college soccer.

Um, but at the time, it made sense for me to play junior college at Schoolcraft.

Um, they have a really unique, like, soccer program, which is a very, a good soccer program.

Um, and it was also an opportunity for me to s-stay home, save money.

So talk through, like, some of your, your adventures.
